00:00.000 --> 00:14.000
[♪ music playing and horns playing in background.

00:14.000 --> 00:18.000
Any race track has potential for excitement, drama,

00:18.000 --> 00:21.000
but not all the excitement takes place when the horses are running.

00:21.000 --> 00:25.000
Sometimes there's excitement before the first better appears,

00:25.000 --> 00:29.000
behind the scenes, on the other side of those windows.

00:29.000 --> 00:33.000
But the very mutual ticket sellers are getting ready for the first race.

00:33.000 --> 00:37.000
Thousands of dollars every day pass through the hands of these men.

00:37.000 --> 00:40.000
Men like Fred Dana, who usually is a cashier,

00:40.000 --> 00:43.000
but is filling in for one of the sellers who was ill today.

00:43.000 --> 00:46.000
But Dana's different from the other men here.

00:46.000 --> 00:49.000
Dana has ideas.

00:49.000 --> 00:52.000
Fred Dana, age 26.

00:52.000 --> 00:55.000
Profession, a fast buck.

00:55.000 --> 00:59.000
It's getting close to the time for the betting windows to open,

00:59.000 --> 01:03.000
and in comes the ticket paper to load the very mutual machines.

01:03.000 --> 01:07.000
Special paper, impossible for counterfeiters to duplicate.

01:07.000 --> 01:09.000
Carefully guarded.

01:09.000 --> 01:13.000
[♪ music playing and horse neighing.

01:13.000 --> 01:20.000
[♪ man coughing.

01:20.000 --> 01:25.000
And in a carton of paper, paper worth thousands of dollars in the wrong hands.

01:25.000 --> 01:28.000
Fred Dana's hands.

01:28.000 --> 01:34.000
[♪ music playing.

01:34.000 --> 01:37.000
[♪ music playing.

01:37.000 --> 01:40.000
Well, Robert E., I didn't break down and confess.

01:40.000 --> 01:43.000
I guess it must be up to you.

01:43.000 --> 01:46.000
Over two thousand bucks in counterfeit tickets passed at the track last week.

01:46.000 --> 01:48.000
You must be cleaning up.

01:48.000 --> 01:51.000
I'll be right back.

01:57.000 --> 01:59.000
Don't worry about a thing, Rafferty.

01:59.000 --> 02:01.000
Rubber hoses don't hurt.

02:01.000 --> 02:04.000
It's just those thumb screws.

02:15.000 --> 02:17.000
You want to know what I was thinking while I was waiting to go in for the third degree?

02:17.000 --> 02:19.000
No, not especially.

02:19.000 --> 02:25.000
I was trying to figure out whether the girl made the uniform or the uniform made the girl.

02:25.000 --> 02:27.000
You keep working at it.

02:27.000 --> 02:29.000
Maybe in a year or two you'll figure it all out.

02:29.000 --> 02:31.000
Hey, you're okay.

02:31.000 --> 02:34.000
Listen, some day when you're not working your beat,

02:34.000 --> 02:37.000
come on out to the track and pay me a call.

02:37.000 --> 02:39.000
You can always tell what window I'm working,

02:39.000 --> 02:41.000
the one with the longest line,

02:41.000 --> 02:44.000
my magnetic personality.

02:44.000 --> 02:47.000
Don't forget to take off your badge.

02:47.000 --> 03:14.000
I don't want to be scarred for life.

03:14.000 --> 03:18.000
Are you tired?

03:18.000 --> 03:20.000
Oh, yeah.

03:20.000 --> 03:22.000
I got nothing out of them.

03:22.000 --> 03:26.000
Seven thousand dollars worth of counterfeit tickets in three weeks.

03:26.000 --> 03:29.000
As long as they got the paper, that could be just the beginning.

03:29.000 --> 03:34.000
How can they counterfeit a ticket for a winning horse before the race is won?

03:34.000 --> 03:36.000
Well, they don't.

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000
All they do is print up tickets on all the horses,

03:38.000 --> 03:40.000
and then they cash in the winning ones.

03:40.000 --> 03:41.000
Well, you finished the charting.

03:41.000 --> 03:42.000
Yeah.

03:42.000 --> 03:43.000
Did you get anywhere?

03:43.000 --> 03:45.000
Oh, I think maybe a lead.

03:45.000 --> 03:46.000
All right, let's have it.

03:46.000 --> 03:51.000
Well, here are the schedules of all the cashiers showing which window they worked

03:51.000 --> 03:54.000
at which date for the past month.

03:54.000 --> 03:55.000
Apparently, they change around a lot.

03:55.000 --> 03:58.000
You know, two dollar window, five, ten, fifteen, hundred.

03:58.000 --> 03:59.000
Yeah, check.

03:59.000 --> 04:04.000
Okay, now I've circled in red the dates in which counterfeit tickets were passed.

04:04.000 --> 04:06.000
Yeah, I'm with you.

04:06.000 --> 04:08.000
Well, now here's what interests me.

04:08.000 --> 04:10.000
This cashier, Fred Dana,

04:10.000 --> 04:13.000
on April 15th, Fred Dana was on the ten dollar window

04:13.000 --> 04:16.000
when ten dollar counterfeit tickets were passed.

04:16.000 --> 04:20.000
On April 23rd, he was on the five dollar window

04:20.000 --> 04:23.000
when five dollar counterfeit tickets were passed.

04:23.000 --> 04:27.000
The same for the next two tunnels.

04:27.000 --> 04:30.000
Well, it could be just a coincidence, of course.

04:30.000 --> 04:33.000
Could be.

04:33.000 --> 04:36.000
You want to take a flyer, either?

04:36.000 --> 04:37.000
Yeah.

04:37.000 --> 04:42.000
I think I might get out of this office and try my luck at the track.

04:42.000 --> 04:53.000
A few ten dollar tickets for number four.

04:53.000 --> 04:55.000
You're in the wrong line, lady.

04:55.000 --> 04:56.000
We cash tickets here, not sell them.

04:56.000 --> 04:57.000
Go on up to my...

04:57.000 --> 05:01.000
Well, look who's here.

05:01.000 --> 05:04.000
The finest in New York's finest.

05:04.000 --> 05:06.000
You accepted my invitation, huh?

05:06.000 --> 05:09.000
My day off, I decided to try my luck.

05:09.000 --> 05:11.000
Too bad tomorrow's my day off instead of today.

05:11.000 --> 05:14.000
I'd, uh, I'd pick a few winners for you.

05:14.000 --> 05:17.000
I have an early shift tomorrow. I could get here at three.

05:17.000 --> 05:18.000
I like winners.

05:18.000 --> 05:29.000
Honey, you just picked yourself one right now.

05:29.000 --> 05:52.000
You really care, don't you?

05:52.000 --> 05:55.000
Well, I'm making money, honey.

05:55.000 --> 05:57.000
What's more important than money?

05:57.000 --> 05:59.000
That's what gets you where you want to go.

05:59.000 --> 06:01.000
Where's that?

06:01.000 --> 06:02.000
To the top.

06:02.000 --> 06:04.000
Top of what?

06:04.000 --> 06:05.000
The heap.

06:05.000 --> 06:10.000
You know, uh, I've been everything from a speeler in the car to a short order cook.

06:10.000 --> 06:11.000
Sure.

06:11.000 --> 06:13.000
But I'm on my way now.

06:13.000 --> 06:17.000
The old bog, you know, that's the answer.

06:17.000 --> 06:20.000
I know what you mean. I like it myself.

06:20.000 --> 06:22.000
What are you doing being a lady cop?

06:22.000 --> 06:25.000
Oh, there's always ways of picking up extra money.

06:25.000 --> 06:27.000
Like what?

06:27.000 --> 06:36.000
Oh, like, uh, like taking a percentage of your take from the count of the ticket rack.

06:36.000 --> 06:37.000
What?

06:37.000 --> 06:40.000
You heard me. A cut.

06:40.000 --> 06:42.000
You?

06:42.000 --> 06:46.000
I'm interested in money, too. Are you surprised?

06:46.000 --> 06:52.000
Oh, boy, I couldn't be more if the Statue of Liberty dropped her torch.

06:52.000 --> 06:55.000
Well, I'm full of surprises.

06:55.000 --> 07:01.000
You really think I've got something to do with this counterfeit ticket business?

07:01.000 --> 07:03.000
Oh, no, I don't think it. I know it.

07:03.000 --> 07:09.000
You see, I made out a chart, and, uh, you happen to be at the right window every time a counterfeit ticket was passed.

07:09.000 --> 07:11.000
I haven't turned it in to anybody yet.

07:11.000 --> 07:12.000
But you will.

07:12.000 --> 07:13.000
Try it.

07:13.000 --> 07:14.000
Unless I kick in, huh?

07:14.000 --> 07:15.000
Uh-huh.

07:15.000 --> 07:17.000
Put in the fix.

07:17.000 --> 07:19.000
Well, what do you know?

07:19.000 --> 07:24.000
You mean behind all that class, you're just another operator out for a fast buck?

07:24.000 --> 07:28.000
Look, don't complain. I'm doing you a big favor. I'm only asking for a little one.

07:28.000 --> 07:31.000
Well, you're wasting your time.

07:31.000 --> 07:36.000
I don't know for nothing about this, uh, what is it, counterfeit ticket business something?

07:36.000 --> 07:38.000
Well, you have it your own way.

07:38.000 --> 07:42.000
I'll tell you what. It's my afternoon at 5.30.

07:42.000 --> 07:46.000
I'll meet you at, uh, the bar, Chung Lo's, on West 50th.

07:46.000 --> 07:50.000
If you're not there, well, then I'll, uh, I'll turn in my information.

07:50.000 --> 07:54.000
You're gonna be awful lonely all by yourself with all that chop suey.

07:54.000 --> 07:56.000
Ha ha. Don't you worry about me.

07:56.000 --> 08:03.000
I'll see you tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that, at headquarters.

08:03.000 --> 08:19.000
Excuse me.

08:19.000 --> 08:24.000
I didn't like the idea of you being here alone today.

08:24.000 --> 08:27.000
Ha. I didn't think you would.

08:27.000 --> 08:33.000
I look, sweetheart. I didn't come here today because of that jazz you gave me yesterday.

08:33.000 --> 08:36.000
Hmm. Why did you come?

08:36.000 --> 08:43.000
Well, I figured, uh, if you really want to make some dough, I'll put you in touch with a guy who can do you some good.

08:43.000 --> 08:46.000
What kind of good?

08:46.000 --> 08:51.000
The kind we're both interested in. This guy's a big operator.

08:51.000 --> 08:57.000
At least he was. And he will be again.

08:57.000 --> 09:01.000
He's the type of guy that if you play along with him, he'll get you right to the...

09:01.000 --> 09:05.000
To the top.

09:05.000 --> 09:09.000
Maybe we'll both meet there. You wanna meet him?

09:09.000 --> 09:13.000
Sure. What have I got to lose?

09:13.000 --> 09:18.000
Hey, Harry. Come on over.

09:18.000 --> 09:21.000
This is Harry Bates. Sit down, Harry.

09:21.000 --> 09:24.000
You're on the police force, huh? Yes, that's right.

09:24.000 --> 09:27.000
The name Harry Bates don't mean nothing to you? No, I don't think so.

09:27.000 --> 09:30.000
Hey, you're too young.

09:30.000 --> 09:35.000
Those were the good days. I was Duke Malone's right hand when Duke was head man.

09:35.000 --> 09:39.000
After his accident, I had to disappear.

09:39.000 --> 09:42.000
But now I'm back, building my own organization.

09:42.000 --> 09:50.000
Maybe we could use a girl like you in my organization, if you're smart.

09:50.000 --> 09:55.000
Well, I'm smart enough to know I'd like to be in on that phony ticket racket. Didn't he tell you?

09:55.000 --> 09:59.000
Yeah, he told me. You've got some wrong ideas about my organization.

09:59.000 --> 10:03.000
I'm just a promoter. Deals. All kinds.

10:03.000 --> 10:07.000
Real estate, trucking. I even own a fighter, sailor Jack Coler.

10:07.000 --> 10:10.000
You ever hear of him? No.

10:10.000 --> 10:13.000
He's a good man. We're going to build him.

10:13.000 --> 10:16.000
One little trouble. He's got a record.

10:16.000 --> 10:23.000
Would be kind of nice if that record could just sort of disappear from the main files downtown.

10:23.000 --> 10:26.000
Well, it's been very nice talking to you.

10:26.000 --> 10:31.000
Like I said, maybe my organization could use a girl like you, if you're smart.

10:31.000 --> 10:34.000
If you want to get in touch with me, here's my address.

10:34.000 --> 10:37.000
You coming, Freddy? Yeah, Harry.

10:37.000 --> 10:41.000
I'll be seeing you, honey.

10:41.000 --> 10:45.000
Or will I?

10:54.000 --> 10:56.000
Hello.

10:56.000 --> 10:58.000
I didn't expect to see you.

10:58.000 --> 11:03.000
Well, I told you I was both surprises.

11:03.000 --> 11:06.000
Well, I'm glad to see you.

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
Hello, Mr. Bates. Make it Harry.

11:08.000 --> 11:11.000
Sailor, you know who this lady is? She's a cop.

11:11.000 --> 11:13.000
Yeah, no kidding.

11:13.000 --> 11:17.000
Sailors like me don't have no love for cops, do you, sailor?

11:17.000 --> 11:19.000
But I think we're going to like this one.

11:19.000 --> 11:22.000
Hey, did you bring something for me?

11:29.000 --> 11:33.000
Well, you've got it all, huh? That's pretty good.

11:33.000 --> 11:38.000
Look, sailor, your whole record. Mug shots, fingerprints.

11:38.000 --> 11:41.000
Even the report from the psychiatrist about you.

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
That's good.

11:43.000 --> 11:47.000
Frankie, get that gadget out of the top drawer of the file that I bought the other day.

11:47.000 --> 11:49.000
I want you to try it out.

11:49.000 --> 11:51.000
Okay, sailor, you can go now.

11:54.000 --> 11:57.000
I said my organization could use you if you're smart.

11:57.000 --> 11:59.000
Now I know you are.

11:59.000 --> 12:01.000
Here.

12:01.000 --> 12:03.000
Here's a couple of hundred just for a starter.

12:03.000 --> 12:05.000
Well, go ahead. Take it.

12:12.000 --> 12:13.000
What was that for?

12:13.000 --> 12:15.000
A sentimental gesture.

12:15.000 --> 12:17.000
A picture of you taking money from me.

12:17.000 --> 12:19.000
You might call it an insurance picture.

12:19.000 --> 12:21.000
Insurance in case you ever get any funny ideas.

12:21.000 --> 12:22.000
You think of everything, don't you?

12:22.000 --> 12:24.000
That's right, sweetheart.

12:24.000 --> 12:28.000
They never laid a finger on me. Why? No evidence.

12:28.000 --> 12:31.000
Okay, sweetheart, you keep in touch with me. I'm going to use you a lot.

12:31.000 --> 12:36.000
To Bates, you have the wrong idea if you think I'm interested in running errands for small change.

12:36.000 --> 12:38.000
Like this.

12:38.000 --> 12:40.000
You wait a minute.

12:40.000 --> 12:42.000
You wait till I tell you to go.

12:42.000 --> 12:45.000
I guess I got the wrong idea.

12:45.000 --> 12:47.000
I thought you were a big operator.

12:47.000 --> 12:49.000
Don't worry, sweetheart. I'm big.

12:49.000 --> 12:51.000
Then what happened at the track operation?

12:51.000 --> 12:54.000
Didn't you hear about that place where you work the heat on?

12:54.000 --> 12:56.000
Yeah, I heard.

12:56.000 --> 12:58.000
You see, that's what I'm talking about.

12:58.000 --> 13:00.000
They call them the cashiers and they question them,

13:00.000 --> 13:03.000
and then they're pretty sure that nothing's going to happen for a while.

13:03.000 --> 13:09.000
You see, this is the time that 10, 15, 20,000 in counterfeit tickets should be passed out there.

13:09.000 --> 13:12.000
Spread over three or four races.

13:12.000 --> 13:17.000
You could clear $30,000 or $40,000 in one afternoon, and then call it quits.

13:17.000 --> 13:19.000
Too many tickets for one man to pass.

13:19.000 --> 13:22.000
For that one day, you use three or four shills to cash them.

13:22.000 --> 13:25.000
Where are you going to get shills you can trust with that kind of money?

13:25.000 --> 13:27.000
Or that kind of information?

13:27.000 --> 13:29.000
I'll guarantee the people I get for you.

13:29.000 --> 13:31.000
Why?

13:31.000 --> 13:33.000
Because I know four or five people that I've got something on.

13:33.000 --> 13:37.000
They try anything funny, they get picked up. Fast.

13:37.000 --> 13:41.000
You see, Mr. Bates, all you have to do is supply the tickets.

13:41.000 --> 13:43.000
I'll do the rest.

13:43.000 --> 13:45.000
For a straight 10% take.

13:45.000 --> 13:47.000
Lady, you got yourself a deal.

13:47.000 --> 14:04.000
Well, that's the kind of talk I like.

14:04.000 --> 14:08.000
I, uh, I got the message you wanted to see me.

14:08.000 --> 14:14.000
Yeah. Uh, sit down.

14:14.000 --> 14:17.000
Thanks.

14:17.000 --> 14:26.000
Uh, look, uh, maybe I got rocks in my head, but I, I want to talk to you.

14:26.000 --> 14:28.000
There's something I got to say.

14:28.000 --> 14:29.000
What?

14:29.000 --> 14:33.000
Get out. Get out before it's too late.

14:33.000 --> 14:35.000
What kind of an act is that supposed to be?

14:35.000 --> 14:37.000
What do you mean act?

14:37.000 --> 14:39.000
This is no act.

14:39.000 --> 14:41.000
I'm trying to tell you something.

14:41.000 --> 14:44.000
Something that Bates thought would be a good idea to tell me.

14:44.000 --> 14:46.000
Find out whether I could be trusted or not.

14:46.000 --> 14:48.000
Well, you tell Bates for me that I-

14:48.000 --> 14:52.000
Bates? Bates, he's got nothing to do with this.

14:52.000 --> 14:55.000
Then why are you so anxious for me to get out?

14:55.000 --> 15:04.000
Well, I, I, I'd like to see somebody like you back up against the wall.

15:04.000 --> 15:06.000
You're only kidding yourself.

15:06.000 --> 15:08.000
Kidding myself?

15:08.000 --> 15:15.000
Well, I know you got your eye on that green stuff, but you're in the wrong league.

15:15.000 --> 15:24.000
Look, once Bates gets a hold of you, he'll hang on to you until you're no good to him or anybody else.

15:24.000 --> 15:26.000
Not even to yourself.

15:26.000 --> 15:32.000
I don't get it. Why is Bates so, uh, so bad for me and so good for you?

15:32.000 --> 15:34.000
Oh, that's different. It's different.

15:34.000 --> 15:39.000
I'm just a bar-mile-for-a-fast buck. I always have been, always will be.

15:39.000 --> 15:42.000
You don't think much of yourself, do you?

15:42.000 --> 15:47.000
No. I'm what you might call a realist.

15:47.000 --> 15:49.000
I know what the score is.

15:49.000 --> 15:52.000
A guy like me's gotta cut corners.

15:52.000 --> 15:55.000
I gotta play along with a fella like Bates if I'm ever gonna be somebody.

15:55.000 --> 15:59.000
But you, you...

15:59.000 --> 16:02.000
You're somebody already.

16:02.000 --> 16:05.000
Damn like you don't need Bates.

16:05.000 --> 16:08.000
You could marry some great guy.

16:08.000 --> 16:13.000
Any guy that's like me might wanna marry you.

16:13.000 --> 16:21.000
You could buy a house like you see in the ads with the flowers and kids and stuff.

16:21.000 --> 16:23.000
That's for you.

16:23.000 --> 16:26.000
That's what you think is for me.

16:26.000 --> 16:30.000
But you don't know.

16:30.000 --> 16:34.000
I know what I want and I know how to play it.

16:34.000 --> 16:38.000
Something everybody has to decide for himself.

16:38.000 --> 16:43.000
Look, look, I'll get, I'll get that picture back for you and I'll get you a fighter's record

16:43.000 --> 16:45.000
and you can put it all back in the files. Everything will be all right.

16:45.000 --> 16:50.000
Thanks, but if I want any favors, I'll ask you for them.

16:50.000 --> 16:55.000
You know, maybe you're kidding yourself.

16:55.000 --> 17:01.000
Maybe you better find out if you like Bates and the whole setup.

17:01.000 --> 17:05.000
And if you don't, get out.

17:08.000 --> 17:12.000
There's one thing I know you're wrong about.

17:12.000 --> 17:16.000
You're somebody already.

17:16.000 --> 17:25.000
Well, I just caught Sonny Boy trying to steal this little valentine you asked for.

17:25.000 --> 17:27.000
I didn't ask for it. Or anything else.

17:27.000 --> 17:29.000
I told you she didn't have to.

17:29.000 --> 17:33.000
You didn't want Sonny Boy to take this picture and sell his record back for you?

17:33.000 --> 17:37.000
If I didn't want you to have that record, I wouldn't have brought it to you in the first place.

17:37.000 --> 17:40.000
If I didn't want to be in on this deal, I wouldn't be here now.

17:40.000 --> 17:43.000
Don't blame me for what goes on in this house.

17:43.000 --> 17:46.000
Don't blame me for what goes on in his mind.

17:46.000 --> 17:50.000
That's his business.

17:50.000 --> 17:52.000
Yeah?

17:52.000 --> 17:55.000
What does go on up there, Sonny Boy?

17:55.000 --> 17:57.000
Getting ideas, huh?

17:57.000 --> 18:00.000
You thought if you surprised Sweetheart with this stuff, she'd get cozy with you, huh?

18:00.000 --> 18:02.000
Huh?

18:02.000 --> 18:04.000
Answer me!

18:04.000 --> 18:06.000
No.

18:06.000 --> 18:08.000
I think yes.

18:08.000 --> 18:10.000
You thought you could make time with her.

18:10.000 --> 18:12.000
You. That's a laugh.

18:12.000 --> 18:15.000
Those kind of ideas need knocking out of that thick head of yours.

18:19.000 --> 18:23.000
I ought to throw you out of here. That's what I ought to do.

18:23.000 --> 18:25.000
But maybe you learned your lesson.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
Do you think you learned your lesson?

18:27.000 --> 18:29.000
Do you?

18:32.000 --> 18:33.000
Yeah.

18:33.000 --> 18:35.000
You'll look at me when you talk to me.

18:36.000 --> 18:38.000
Now, what was your answer?

18:38.000 --> 18:40.000
I said yes.

18:40.000 --> 18:42.000
You can let him go, Frank.

18:48.000 --> 18:50.000
Okay, Sweetheart.

18:50.000 --> 18:52.000
What's the good word?

18:52.000 --> 18:54.000
Well, they're laying off the tractor. They get a lease.

18:54.000 --> 18:56.000
Aha. Just like you said.

18:56.000 --> 18:58.000
So I've set it up for tomorrow.

18:58.000 --> 18:59.000
Tomorrow?

18:59.000 --> 19:01.000
I've got three shills ready to cash in the tickets.

19:01.000 --> 19:03.000
All you have to do is get the tickets to me.

19:03.000 --> 19:05.000
Okay, okay.

19:06.000 --> 19:08.000
I, um...

19:08.000 --> 19:10.000
I can pick them up when you print them.

19:10.000 --> 19:12.000
I tell you where to pick them up. You don't tell me.

19:12.000 --> 19:14.000
Sure. Anything you say.

19:14.000 --> 19:17.000
Just have your shills ready at the $50 window right after the third race.

19:17.000 --> 19:19.000
I'll be there.

19:19.000 --> 19:21.000
Frankie's had trouble with those track cops, Sonny Boy.

19:21.000 --> 19:23.000
So I want you alone to back me up.

19:23.000 --> 19:25.000
In case anything goes wrong.

19:25.000 --> 19:27.000
Ha. What can go wrong?

19:27.000 --> 19:29.000
There's nothing to worry about.

19:29.000 --> 19:30.000
Just in case.

19:30.000 --> 19:32.000
I try to think of everything.

19:32.000 --> 19:38.000
Remember that.

19:53.000 --> 19:55.000
Everything set?

19:55.000 --> 19:57.000
All set.

19:57.000 --> 19:59.000
Those three men are going to pass the tickets.

19:59.000 --> 20:02.000
Well, those are the shills, huh?

20:02.000 --> 20:04.000
Tell me about them.

20:04.000 --> 20:06.000
What do you mean?

20:06.000 --> 20:08.000
I...

20:08.000 --> 20:11.000
I want to know what you've got on each one of them.

20:11.000 --> 20:13.000
I'd just like to know those things.

20:13.000 --> 20:15.000
Any objections?

20:15.000 --> 20:17.000
No. But I...

20:17.000 --> 20:21.000
Well, then what have you got on the two men who were talking together?

20:21.000 --> 20:27.000
Well, one of them is a fence for stolen auto parts.

20:27.000 --> 20:30.000
The other one's wanted for robbery in Delaware.

20:30.000 --> 20:32.000
And how about the fellow by himself?

20:32.000 --> 20:35.000
He runs a protection racket.

20:35.000 --> 20:36.000
In the Bronx.

20:36.000 --> 20:38.000
The Bronx, huh?

20:38.000 --> 20:40.000
Ha. That's his territory.

20:40.000 --> 20:43.000
Now, satisfied?

20:43.000 --> 20:46.000
Yeah.

20:46.000 --> 20:49.000
Well, you better give me the tickets so we can get started.

20:49.000 --> 20:51.000
Sonny Boy's got them.

20:51.000 --> 20:53.000
Now, you wait for me in this corridor right around here.

20:53.000 --> 20:55.000
I don't want to handle him out here in the open.

20:55.000 --> 20:58.000
All right, but we don't have much time before the race.

20:58.000 --> 21:00.000
I'll worry about that.

21:04.000 --> 21:06.000
I want to check those shills.

21:06.000 --> 21:08.000
They might be ponies. Cops.

21:08.000 --> 21:10.000
Well, it don't hurt to check.

21:10.000 --> 21:12.000
Now, you go over to that one reading the paper.

21:12.000 --> 21:15.000
Ask him what part of town he works. Play it cool.

21:15.000 --> 21:17.000
If he don't say the Bronx, we know somebody's lying.

21:17.000 --> 21:19.000
You tell him we're skipping the fourth race.

21:19.000 --> 21:25.000
Go ahead.

21:28.000 --> 21:32.000
The lady friend said not to worry if there's a way.

21:32.000 --> 21:35.000
Okay.

21:35.000 --> 21:40.000
Say, uh, haven't I seen you around somewhere?

21:40.000 --> 21:43.000
I think she said you worked some territory over in the...

21:43.000 --> 21:45.000
in Queens, huh?

21:45.000 --> 21:48.000
Yeah, that's right. Queens.

21:48.000 --> 21:50.000
Oh.

21:50.000 --> 21:54.000
That's funny.

21:54.000 --> 21:57.000
I thought I'd seen you in the Bronx.

21:57.000 --> 21:59.000
No, Queens.

21:59.000 --> 22:01.000
Oh.

22:01.000 --> 22:02.000
All right.

22:02.000 --> 22:04.000
Well, like I was saying, there's going to be some delay,

22:04.000 --> 22:06.000
so we're skipping the fourth.

22:06.000 --> 22:09.000
She said for you to wait here.

22:09.000 --> 22:18.000
Okay.

22:18.000 --> 22:20.000
What's taking so long?

22:20.000 --> 22:25.000
Never mind.

22:25.000 --> 22:26.000
Now, what's the word?

22:26.000 --> 22:28.000
You are right. We're skipping the fourth.

22:28.000 --> 22:29.000
We're skipping the fourth? Why?

22:29.000 --> 22:31.000
Because those shills are cops.

22:31.000 --> 22:32.000
Oh.

22:32.000 --> 22:35.000
Well, that's a laugh.

22:35.000 --> 22:37.000
I smelled it. You dirty little double crossing...

22:37.000 --> 22:40.000
You smelled it. I had her pick right from the start.

22:40.000 --> 22:42.000
Come on, sweetheart. Let's see what you have in your hand.

22:42.000 --> 22:43.000
Come on. Come on.

22:43.000 --> 22:44.000
I'll take care of that.

22:44.000 --> 22:46.000
I'll handle this.

22:46.000 --> 22:49.000
Must have been pretty funny that day.

22:49.000 --> 22:52.000
Me sitting there trying to get you to go straight.

22:52.000 --> 22:54.000
Oh, come on, can the chatter.

22:54.000 --> 22:56.000
We're walking right out of here, the three of us.

22:56.000 --> 22:58.000
Give her her bag.

22:58.000 --> 23:00.000
She can't go back there and talk to those friends of hers.

23:00.000 --> 23:04.000
We're always so interested in where the tickets were, weren't you, sweetheart?

23:04.000 --> 23:07.000
Well, there won't be a ticket on me by the time we get to the gate.

23:07.000 --> 23:09.000
That's your evidence.

23:09.000 --> 23:11.000
Now, come on, sonny boy.

23:11.000 --> 23:15.000
Well, come on. This is no time to wait around.

23:15.000 --> 23:17.000
You're going in the wrong direction.

23:17.000 --> 23:20.000
What? What are you talking about? Those cops are out there.

23:20.000 --> 23:25.000
What I'm talking about is that you're going in the wrong direction.

23:25.000 --> 23:27.000
What's eating you, sonny boy?

23:27.000 --> 23:30.000
We're going out the way I say.

23:30.000 --> 23:31.000
No, we're not.

23:31.000 --> 23:34.000
Listen, you punk, I don't want no trouble from you.

23:34.000 --> 23:35.000
Give me that gun.

23:35.000 --> 23:36.000
Come on, give me the gun.

23:36.000 --> 23:39.000
Get your hand back, Harry.

23:39.000 --> 23:42.000
You'll lose a couple of fingers.

23:42.000 --> 23:44.000
Come on, sonny.

23:44.000 --> 23:48.000
You come with me and I'll make it or something, something big.

23:48.000 --> 23:52.000
You go out there and you're just another punk with a record.

23:52.000 --> 23:55.000
Yeah, I know.

23:55.000 --> 23:57.000
Tell me something.

23:57.000 --> 24:01.000
Did you decide to play this straight because of what I said that day?

24:01.000 --> 24:03.000
No. No.

24:03.000 --> 24:06.000
I always played it straight. Give me that.

24:06.000 --> 24:09.000
I'll just, I'll just keep these.

24:09.000 --> 24:11.000
For a souvenir.

24:11.000 --> 24:13.000
I talked to you about going straight.

24:13.000 --> 24:16.000
I end up there.

24:16.000 --> 24:18.000
Kind of funny, huh?

24:18.000 --> 24:19.000
No.

24:19.000 --> 24:22.000
I think you always wanted to be straight.

24:22.000 --> 24:25.000
I think you just found it out.

24:25.000 --> 24:27.000
Let's go, Harry.

24:39.000 --> 24:41.000
I'm going to give you a tip.

24:41.000 --> 24:43.000
You know why you never fooled me?

24:43.000 --> 24:45.000
Why?

24:45.000 --> 24:48.000
Because you can't hide class.

24:48.000 --> 24:50.000
I don't know.

24:50.000 --> 24:53.000
You did a pretty good job on yourself for quite a while.

24:53.000 --> 24:56.000
Come on, big treasure. Let's blow this joint.

24:56.000 --> 24:58.000
You can't win.

24:59.000 --> 25:01.000
So long.

25:06.000 --> 25:08.000
Fred liked the word class.

25:08.000 --> 25:12.000
To him it had to do with the way someone spoke or looked.

25:12.000 --> 25:15.000
But to me, making a decision,

25:15.000 --> 25:18.000
as tough as the one that Fred made and sticking by it,

25:18.000 --> 25:20.000
no matter what,

25:20.000 --> 25:23.000
well, that's class.

25:50.000 --> 25:55.000
